"You want to sell second-hand Magical Treasures?" The old man heard Xiao Buli explain his purpose and immediately responded in a weird tone, with the end of his sentences rising, clearly harboring doubt. His beady eyes sized up Xiao Buli from head to toe.
Xiao Buli had of course seen this kind of look before. Since ancient times, the truth has always been that no merchant is not shrewd; these businessmen always judge by appearances. Once, Xiao Buli, dressed in a hoodie, entered a luxury store and, sure enough, the sales clerk followed him closely, nearly mistaking him for a thief. The look that clerk gave him when he entered was exactly like the one this old man was giving him now, although the clerk was somewhat more restrained due to professional reasons. The old man, on the other hand, was blatantly giving him the once over. Continue your saga on freewebnovel
Xiao Buli felt indignant, thinking that even if this was the Immortal Realm, it was too much to look down on him. He said, "What, you look down on me, is that it? If that’s the case, then forget it." With that, he turned and walked away.
The old man immediately called him back in a hurry when he saw this. In this godforsaken Immortal Realm, it was rare to come across a deal, and it was good to have a chat. Besides, anyone daring to bargain at the Golden Immortal Palace must have some decent items. Finally, he hurriedly said, "Come back, come back, even though you’re just a mortal, this old man isn’t picky. As long as there’re good items, I can still take a look."
Xiao Buli had been inclined to leave, but then he thought to himself that harmony brings wealth. After all, he was just a passerby here—why bother with all this? Gaining benefits was what mattered, and besides, he had plenty of junk on hand that was just taking up space. Getting rid of it quickly would be a relief. So, he relented and grumbled his way back to the old man.
Without further conversation, he opened his inventory and took out all the superfluous Magical Treasures. Since things had already turned unpleasant, he also took out some Magical Treasures he had felt slightly embarrassed to present, now he didn’t care anymore.
The old man looked at the pile of stuff on the ground, picking through the objects like the Undead Binding Scepter and Water-Repelling Pearls. He smacked his lips, squinted, and, after some scrutiny, picked out a few items, while returning some raw-material-like items.
Seeing the Undead Binding Scepter chosen by the old man, Xiao Buli thought that at best, it could only summon third-level Undead, which at this point were not even worth the trouble to chop with an extra slash. As for the Water-Repelling Pearl, they were mass-produced, and he had kept one already; the rest lay picked out by the old man, seemingly intent on keeping them.
Xiao Buli wondered if these Magical Treasures were of any use to the beings of the Immortal Realm. With eyebrows raised and eyes drooping, the old man seemed to have little regard for the items on the ground: "These are all mortal-level Magical Treasures with very low grades. It’s just that among these objects there are some materials I need for Refining Treasures. Otherwise, I’d be worried they would just take up space. So, let’s say, five Spirit Stones for a first-level Magical Treasure, ten for a second-level, and twenty for a third-level. That’s sixty Spirit Stones in total for four first-level, two second-level, and one third-level Magical Treasures. You’ll only get this kind of price at my place here in the Satisfied Golden Immortal Palace..." The old man hadn’t finished talking when Xiao Buli started gathering his things and walked away.
"Hey, hey, young man, why the rush?" The old man urgently called him back.
Xiao Buli thought to himself, just 60 Spirit Stones? That’s outright robbery. Although the grades of these Magical Treasures weren’t high, they were still Magical Treasures. Supposedly offering a high price for them, he was treating them like junk. Those 60 Spirit Stones could easily be earned by opening a couple of low-level treasure boxes. Originally, these things were not very useful to him; if he had liked the old man, he might have sold to him, but the old man’s words were unpleasant and greedy. Even if his offer had been higher, Xiao Buli would have had second thoughts, let alone for a measly 60 Spirit Stones, which weren’t enough for anything significant, so why tolerate his attitude?
The old man kept calling after him, "Considering you don’t come from the Human Realm often, I, True Person Hundred Treasures, will show some kindness today. How about this, I’ll add 40 Spirit Stones for a total of 100, but I can’t give you any more." But Xiao Buli kept walking without turning back, his mind made up not to sell.
He went straight to another stall that dealt in second-hand Jade Slips. Since the NPCs in the Immortal Realm had high autonomy and were different from the merchants he’d seen in the Human Realm, the old man who collected second-hand Jade Slips had been watching the commotion here. Now, seeing Xiao Buli approaching his stall, he hurriedly sat up straight, wearing a serious expression.
"Do you happen to have second-hand Jade Slips for sale?" The old man drew out his words as he spoke to Xiao Buli.
Xiao Buli nodded. Having just had an unpleasant experience, he was not very happy. Without elaborating, he took out the Nameless Jade Slip from his bag and handed it to the old man. Xiao Buli knew nothing about the value and use of this item; he had intended to show it to Xuanxu Zi, but for some reason, he was wary of him. Seeing this stall, he had no intention of selling right away. Instead, he wanted to use the opportunity to have the old man appraise it. He was determined that no matter the price offered, he would not sell. If he could glean even the slightest bit of information from the old man, he would consider it a success.
